Pick files after specified Time from a folder in Perl
Hi All
I am stuck in a problem and wants help
What i want to do is I have a directory(say name of that directory is outdir) In that directory(outdir) the files come after some gap of time by some processes.

What i want to do is i want to list all the files in that directory after the given time.

Eg. I want to list all the files in outdir which had come after time (2012-3-31 0-16:45) (yyyy/mm/dd hh-mm:ss) in PERL

As the dir name is outdir, The files already present in that
dir is b1, b2, b3
Suppose at time 2012-3-31 0-16:45 the files that come in dir is
is a1, a2 , a3 by some process going on.

Now suppose i want to list all the files which had come on and after the time
2012-3-31 0-16:45

Then the expected output will be

a1,a2,a3
